WoodsWagon Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The only motor that works is one out of another justy. It was the only car that used that model of engine. If you use a pre-1989 engine you will have to swap your head on to it because the EFI heads are different than the carburated ones and the intake will not bolt up. Install a new oil pump on the replacement engine before you put it in. The oil pumps are a known weak point and that's probably why yours chucked a rod.

rhon Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 to lumby: thanks I wasn't sure the blocks were different for the ecvt. changing it to 5 speed sounds great but It would be a learning experience for this old dog. my computer skills stink too.

ivans imports Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 the block is same ectv or five speed as long as after 90 as they whent to same length axles on both sides to do this had to bolt axle stub to block so block has more bolt up points on back. Have used a older block but had to use the long ps axle from 88 justy and use outer cv end from the 90 to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
